A Scotch Bonnet is a type of chili pepper that is commonly used in Caribbean cuisine. It is also known as the Caribbean red pepper or the Bahama Mama pepper. The Scotch Bonnet is small and round with a smooth, shiny skin and ranges in color from green to yellow to bright red when ripe. It is considered to be one of the hottest peppers in the world, with a Scoville heat rating of between 100,000 to 350,000 units, which is similar to the heat level of a habanero pepper. The Scotch Bonnet is often used in sauces, marinades, and jerk seasoning blends to add both heat and flavor to dishes. |
